The right of individuals to access their personal data is a fundamental part of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which governs the processing of personal data across the European Union (EU). Article 15 of the GDPR outlines the Right of Access, ensuring that individuals have the ability to request and obtain access to their personal data that is being processed by an organization.
Right of Access explained:
- Right to Access Personal Data:
- Under the GDPR, individuals (data subjects) have the right to request confirmation from a data controller about whether or not their personal data is being processed.
- If the data is being processed, individuals have the right to access a copy of the data as well as additional information regarding the processing.
- What Information Can be Accessed?: When individuals exercises their right of access, they are entitled to obtain:
- The personal data that is being processed.
- The purposes of the processing.
- The categories of data being processed.
- The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the data has been or will be disclosed (e.g., third parties, recipients in other countries).
- The period for which the data will be stored or the criteria used to determine that period.
- The existence of the right to request rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing.
- The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (such as the national data protection authority).
- Information about the source of the data, if it was not collected directly from the individual.
- How to Request Access: Individuals must make a clear request to the organization (the data controller) to exercise their right of access. This can be done in writing or via other means as provided by the organization (such as an online form). The organization must respond within one month of receiving the request. In some cases, this period can be extended by an additional two months if the request is complex or numerous.
- No Charge for the Request: In most cases, accessing personal data is free of charge. However, if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive (e.g., if the individual has made repeated requests), the organization can charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs or refuse to comply with the request.
- Exceptions: While the right to access is quite broad, there are certain exceptions where access may be limited or denied, such as:
- If it adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others (e.g., revealing someone else’s personal data).
- If the request is related to ongoing legal proceedings, providing access could interfere with those proceedings.
- If providing access would compromise national security or the prevention of crime.
- Providing the Data: When the data is requested, the data controller must provide it in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. If the individual asks for it, the controller must also provide the data in a format that allows it to be transferred to another service provider (this is the data portability aspect of GDPR).
- Transparency and Communication: Organizations are also required to be transparent about their data practices and should inform individuals about their right to access their personal data. This information should be included in privacy policies, which must be clear, easily understandable, and readily accessible to users.
In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF, Moonflow LLC commits to cooperate and comply respectively with the advice of the panel established by the EU data protection authorities (DPAs) and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) with regard to unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal data received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF.

- Opting Out: You may opt out of this arbitration provision within [X] days of agreeing to this Privacy Policy by sending written notice to [insert contact information]. If you opt out, the dispute may be resolved through litigation in the appropriate court, rather than arbitration.
